Saturday quiz

Well, a convincing win over political journalist John Rentoul this week: he scored an embarrassing 1/10 (though all credit to him for having admitted it). I scored 7/10. I did not know the answers to questions 7, 9, and 10, and guessed (out of two) the answer to question 8.

From the newspapers

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13066777/Joe-Biden-DOJ-elderly-man-report-dangerous-MAUREEN-CALLAHAN.html

It’s no longer up for debate: Joe Biden has got to go.

In a hastily called press conference Thursday night, President Biden was, for the first time, questioned relentlessly by the White House press pool about his age, cognition, and fitness to serve.

The latest national poll by NBC News found that a whopping 76 percent of voters are concerned about Biden’s mental and physical ability to serve.

[Daily Mail]

Is there any other Democratic Party candidate likely to go the distance? See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Democratic_Party_presidential_candidates.

Looks as though only one likely alternative presently exists, a Jew called Dean Phillips, a member of the House of Representatives: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dean_Phillips.

Phillips is married and has two daughters from a previous marriage. He is Jewish[43] and was acknowledged by the Minnesota publication The American Jewish World for serving on the board of Temple Israel in Minneapolis.

In 2023, he announced his intent to challenge Biden for the Democratic nomination in the 2024 presidential election.[10]

 …Phillips would…be the first Jewish President of the United States.”

[Wikipedia].

So far, however, Phillips’ campaign has run into the sand: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dean_Phillips#2024_presidential_campaign.

In the primaries held so far, Biden got 100% of the delegates and 83.4% of the popular vote (Phillips got 7% of the popular vote). Phillips is not even on the ballot of several state primaries.

If Biden were to be, as seems almost inevitable, the Democratic candidate, and if he were to be re-elected and then die in office, that would put Kamala Harris into the White House. A black/brown (Indian Tamil/Jamaican) woman married to a Jewish lawyer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamala_Harris; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamala_Harris#Personal_life; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doug_Emhoff.

Incidentally, I see that Emhoff was largely brought up in areas of New Jersey (Matawan and Old Bridge) somewhat known to me from when I lived in New Jersey (near Cheesequake State Park) on and off during the years 1990-1993.

We need more guns, more equipment, but, most of all, more men.’ Dispatch from the Kupiansk frontline in Ukraine.”

[Daily Mail]

The msm in the UK, USA etc can no longer conceal the military crisis overwhelming the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev. The military chief, Zaluzhny, has been replaced, and the ranks of the Kiev-regime forces are being thinned by both battlefield casualties and the unwillingness of both Ukrainian men and foreign volunteers and mercenaries to serve.

The foreigners have mostly been killed, captured, or have returned home, while Ukrainian men in very large numbers are avoiding the draft, either by remaining in foreign countries or by keeping their heads down in Ukraine itself. The Kiev regime employs brutal press-gangs to capture draft-evaders. One has to ask, though, whether people forced to join up under violent duress are going to be of much use in the field.

Strategically, as noted on the blog for 2 years now, Russia cannot lose this conflict, and will not. Tactically, both sides have encountered problems, but in terms of both manpower and arms, Russia now has the edge, very obviously.

I would not rule out a large-scale Russian offensive in 2024, though it may be that Putin will prefer to see what happens politically in the USA first. The US Presidential Election is in November 2024.

A mother-of-two died after she was found unconscious under a coat in A&E while she was waiting to see a doctor about a headache.

The 39-year-old went to Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham on January 19, and was observed by nurses three times.

Yet when her name was called after seven hours, she didn’t respond and hospital staff thought she had left because of the long wait.”

Useful basic information.

Russian troops are attacking a town in east Ukraine from all directions, and the situation is increasingly difficult for Ukrainian troops defending the town, its mayor said on Thursday.

Russian forces have taken the initiative on the eastern front in the industrial Donbas region of Ukraine and have been trying to cut supply lines and encircle Ukrainian forces dug in at Avdiivka since October.

“The enemy is pressuring from all directions. They are storming with very numerous forces,” Avdiivka mayor Vitaliy Barabash said in televised comments, describing the situation as “very difficult and hot”.

Ethnic cleansing by the Jewish state.

The simple truth. Without EU, UK, and US arms and ammo, the Kiev regime will fall back, not only from the Donbass front, but fall back to Kiev, and quite likely further, to somewhere between Kiev and Lvov.

Likewise, Ukraine’s economy is on (Western) life-support.

Demographically, the population numbers are in freefall. 500,000 dead on or around the battlefields, huge numbers in foreign countries, and few children being born.

In short, as an independent state (failed state, fake state), Ukraine has no future.

Either Charlotte Owen is related to “Boris” Johnson (the most likely possibility), or he was having some kind of affair with her; there is a third possibility, i.e. that she somehow knows something very seriously discreditable about Johnson.

The last possibility seems unlikely. After all, Johnson is so discredited anyway that it would be hard to think of a concealed fact that would make blackmail or implied blackmail sufficiently threatening.

Still, there it is— an office gopher in her twenties now “elevated” to the House of Lords. Our whole system of government is rotten to the core.

Incidentally, the madness continues…

This is her: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmen_Smith_(politician).

Politician“? Of course, we are talking about the Plaid Cymru fake “nationalist” joke-party, but even so…

Carmen Ria Smith (born c. 1996/97) is a Plaid Cymru political assistant. In February 2024, it was announced Smith would be appointed to the House of Lords.

Smith has a law degree from Bangor University, graduating in 2016.[2] She served as deputy president of NUS Wales.

Smith is the former Chief of Staff of the Plaid Cymru Senedd group. She was later a lobbyist for energy company Bute Energy[2]

In 2019, Smith stood in the European Parliament election in Wales. She was unsuccessful.

Smith was nominated to the peerage by Plaid Cymru after Dafydd Wigley announced he planned to retire in 2024.[2] This will keep the number of Plaid Cymru life peers as one.”

[Wikipedia]

A member of the Lords at 27, having been an office gopher for 1-2 years, and a lobbyist for a wind-turbine company for another 1-2 years. “Chief of Staff“? The Plaid group in the Senedd (Welsh Assembly) consists of only 12 people!

Carmen Smith was evidently born under a lucky star, and really should buy some lottery tickets. £350+ per day, plus extra monies etc, at age 27. For life, in effect. Incredible.

Ah…

No wonder she is smiling…

Actually, and at the risk of seeming ungentlemanly, the young lady could pass for 40+ instead of 27. More on the story, though: https://nation.cymru/news/plaid-cymru-row-over-house-of-lords-nominations/:

“A row has broken out in Plaid Cymru after an internal election for nominees to the House of Lords saw a lobbyist for a controversial wind power company elevated to first place on the list – even though she was decisively beaten in a members’ vote by former MP Elfyn Llwyd.

Although the voting figures haven’t been disclosed, Nation.Cymru understands that Carmen Smith, 27, who works for Bute Energy, received around 70 votes while Mr Llwyd got about 180 votes. A third candidate – longstanding party member Ann Griffith – secured around 40 votes.

A longstanding Plaid Cymru member contacted Nation.Cymru and said: “This is disgraceful. I don’t know the actual result of the vote but I would have thought that Elfyn was way out in front. The fact that the National Exec has imposed a woman on top of the list was not explained at any time in the introduction to the virtual hustings that I attended last week.”

A senior party source told us: “This all stems from a decision by the NEC to make sure that a woman was given top position, regardless of how many votes were cast. It’s quite farcical that Elfyn Llwyd was way in the lead, yet came second. It’s surely a travesty of democracy. He has a wealth of Parliamentary experience, while Carmen hasn’t even been elected as a councillor.

[from Nation.Cymru online]

I wonder whether that might not be judicially reviewable. Seems (on the facts as presented) very lacking in transparency, at the very least.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/feb/03/anyone-but-peter-bone-voters-turn-to-labour-and-reform-uk-as-wellingborough-byelection-nears

“While Labour is favourite to snatch the Northamptonshire seat from the Tories, Sunak’s party faces a battle even to take second place, if local opinion is anything to go by.”

[The Guardian]

Less an ordinary by-election, more a possible template for GE 2024. As I have blogged previously, there is a mood somewhere between anger and apathy, a mood which has become palpable in recent years, recent months.

The electorate now hates and despises the Conservative Party, whose governments now seem totally incompetent and ineffective. However, fake Labour is not much liked or respected either. “Least worst”, if you like.

As the Guardian report about Wellingborough indicates, that electoral mood leads people either to vote Labour as least-worst option, or to protest via Reform UK.

Sadly, no real social-national party is available.

The electorate’s present main emotion is wanting to stamp on the Government, on the misnamed Conservative Party, and on its MPs.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13042143/Amid-disbelief-chemical-attacker-allowed-stay-Britain-BBC-editor-paid-help-15-Somalian-criminals-stay-UK-quits-Beeb-shocking-Mail-expos.html

BBC editor was hired as an expert witness to help at least 15 Somalian criminals fight deportation – including a vile offender who sexually attacked a deaf teenage girl.

Last year, The Mail on Sunday exposed how Mary Harper, Africa Editor for the World Service, was  paid to give expert witness evidence for Somali gang rapist Yaqub Ahmed during his five-year legal battle to stay in the UK.

Now an investigation by this newspaper can reveal Ms Harper has given expert witness evidence in a string of other controversial deportation appeals by Somali offenders – including for another three sex attackers, three drug dealers and a career criminal who spent a decade in British jails.

In one of the most shocking cases, Ms Harper warned that a Somali man who committed a horrific sexual assault on a profoundly deaf 17-year-old girl would be at ‘severely heightened risk’ if he was sent back to Somalia because he had committed a sex crime.

A judge disagreed and threw out his appeal against deportation. Astonishingly, this newspaper has discovered that, 16 months later, the 29-year-old attacker, who the MoS is banned from naming by a court order, has still not been kicked out of Britain and is living with relatives in a council flat.”

Get rid of the invaders. Get rid of any who connive at the migration-invasion of this country.

Talking point: a medical episode

I do not usually blog about any medical conditions that may impact me, but in this case something wider, about the NHS, is illustrated.

When I lived for a year in Kazakhstan (1996-1997), I suddenly became almost deaf at one point. Ear wax. The wife of a Russian colonel with whom I was friendly took me to a local hospital not far from where I lived; I think that it was about a mile up the same long boulevard, Prospekt Lenina.

The treatment was basic but effective. A giant “watering can” was filled with water. I was enjoined to kneel down with my head sideways over a large receptacle. A metal cone about 2 feet deep was then positioned over one of my ears. One nurse held the cone as the other poured the water quickly but steadily into the cone.

The feeling —not pain exactly, but pressure— was almost unbearable for a second. It reminded me of a couple of experiences during scuba dive training. Then it was over, and a plug of ear wax the size of a little finger was floating in the water. Blessed relief. Hearing was restored.

I think —cannot now recall— that either the treatment was free or involved a small fee. I wanted to give the nurses themselves some money, but Ludmilla, the colonel’s wife, told me that that would not be necessary. She was always saving me from “wasting” money (and/or from the odd blonde), as when we were at the “Zilyony Bazaar” (“Green Market”), the Central Market in Almaty, and she would not hear of me having my fortune told by an ancient Kazakh woman sitting on the ground, and who used small animal bones to do her divinations. Ludmilla was a strong character, a contrast to her very easy-going husband.

The next time I had a similar problem, about 2015, the local GP surgery made me an appointment to see a nurse. I did attend, but in fact felt OK by the time I attended, and the nurse said that she could not see any wax anyway. So nothing had to be done.

Well, here we are in 2024. I was informed by the same GP surgery that they “no longer offer” any ear wax removal. A private clinic was recommended. It operates out of a small and quiet NHS hospital in a coastal village about 5 miles from my home. I made the appointment. £15 non-refundable deposit and £65 for the treatment. I could have had it done earlier, but am in fact going next week.

So there it is. Something that used to be free on the NHS now has to be paid for, or no treatment. I am not exactly affluent these days, and even a sum as small as £80 is not nothing (as the Russians say), but one can well imagine that there are many who would struggle to find the fee demanded.

The NHS is less and less useful. Here we are, with GPs earning, in most cases, £100,000-£200,000 a year, monies coming out of all our taxes (even if, like me, you are not employed, you still pay out via VAT etc), and they no longer offer what was a minor but still very useful service. A sign of the way things are going.

The NHS lost its way many years ago. It now seems, often, to be run mainly for the benefit of those employed in it.

It is not just a question of supplying the NHS with more money, or higher staff salaries, bonuses etc. It is a question of making sure that the people are offered services, and that the outcomes are good. Also, that the people needing medical (and dental) help, and their families, are not messed around and ripped-off (eg by having to pay exorbitant parking fees).

At least I myself shall not have to pay for parking next week; having been to that small hospital once before, I know that parking is free, just as in the Good Old Days (or today in the USA, France and I think almost everywhere else).

Not that I disagree with the view shown in the tweet, but Reform UK is only useful to the extent that it can further and deeper push the Conservative Party into the mire.

Sign of the times. People to be arrested for what they might be thinking

The very concept of “free speech” is heavily under threat already in the UK (mainly from Jew-Zionists and the Israel lobby, and from unthinking police, CPS, and other “official” drones), but now we see that people are being criminalized simply for having it assumed that they are thinking something!

Kafka himself would scarcely believe it…

Sturgeon and her SNP crew deserve to be kicked into the political gutter.

How cheaply people are bought, though! The Scottish electorate was offered and given a few cheap trinkets for its votes: no hospital car park charges, no prescription charges etc. That, and the the promise of a wonderful affluent Independence (which will never happen).

Nothing wrong with free parking and free prescriptions, as such, but look at the wider cost to the Scottish people under Sturgeon’s poundland dictatorship.

Quite similar to, though I think slightly less pretty than, the stylish Edwardian conservatory at our (leased) house in Cornwall over 20 years ago. We also had a wisteria tree growing up a wall inside.

Obedient rabbits lined up outside Waitrose, masked, and six feet apart (as decided upon by know-nothings “Boris” Johnson and Little Matt Hancock, and enforced by dim, black-clad, Handmaid’s Tale militia), only to rub shoulders once inside. Meanwhile, the pub across the road was open and without any restriction. Etc.

Last year, I woke up to a police officer banging on my door accusing me of posting “hate speech” on Twitter. I asked her what law I’d allegedly broken and she couldn’t name a single one. She had no idea what she was talking about, but told me I’d be arrested if I didn’t stop doing the things she couldn’t even tell me I’d done. Helpful! Needless to say, free speech is nothing more than a relic of the past here in the UK.”

According to Electoral Calculus [https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html] (adjusted to add-in tactical voting and Scottish voting), that would leave the Conservative Party with only 80 seats (Labour Party 483; LibDems 38).

The latest YouGov poll (9 January 2024) is even more stark: Con 72, Lab 514, LibDems 36.

Call me spiteful, but one of the aspects of all that I like the most is thinking about all those nasty and/or smug little careerists of recent years, in the 20-40 age range, willing to “throw under a bus” the poor, unemployed, disabled etc, and who thought that they had a future as Con Party MPs coming to them, and now face a less-pleasant future of having to work in a real job for a living.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/jan/10/senior-tory-alicia-kearns-scathing-attack-bill-banning-public-bodies-boycotting-israel

A senior Conservative MP launched a scathing attack on a controversial bill banning local councils from boycotting Israel, as eight Tories voted against the proposed legislation.

Alicia Kearns, the Conservative chair of the foreign affairs select committee, told the Guardian that the bill undermined free speech, went against international law and risked leaving the UK isolated on the global stage.

While the bill passed by 282 votes to 235, eight Conservative MPs voted against the legislation, which will cause some embarrassment to its chief supporter, Michael Gove.

The 282 MPs who have voted for that bill are Israel-lobby and Jewish-lobby puppets.

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/jan/11/uk-cancer-survival-rates-developed-world-report

The UK has some of the worst cancer survival rates in the developed world, according to new research.

Analysis of international data by the Less Survivable Cancers Taskforce found that five-year survival rates for lung, liver, brain, oesophageal, pancreatic and stomach cancers in the UK are worse than in most comparable countries. On average, just 16% of UK patients live for five years with these cancers.

Out of 33 countries of comparable wealth and income levels, the UK ranks as low as 28th for five-year survival of both stomach and lung cancer, 26th for pancreatic cancer, 25th for brain cancer and 21st and 16th for liver and oesophageal cancers respectively.

The six cancers account for nearly half of all common cancer deaths in the UK and more than 90,000 people are diagnosed with one of them in Britain every year.

Starmer is a weasel, an Israel-lobby puppet, a Jewish-lobby puppet, and nothing more, but the most important thing is to completely wipe out, if possible, the equally-“occupied” “Conservative” Party. It would be disastrous if more than about a hundred Con Party MPs were to survive the 2024 General Election. That would tend to validate the rigged pseudo-democratic System.

Every time Starmer opens his mouth, he reveals just how unfitted he is for the role of Prime Minister. Something that he has in common with the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak.

I am thinking maybe a loss of around 250-300 seats, leaving the Con Party as a (50-100 MP) rump party, on a similar though higher level to the LibDems (now with 15 MPs but maybe with 30 or more after the GE, thanks purely to a projected or possible collapse of the Con Party vote in the South of England as well as elsewhere).

Of course, the LibDems are a bad joke, but then look at the Con Party over the last 14 years or more…indeed, look at the “leaders” alone: David Cameron-Levita, Theresa May, “Boris” Johnson, Liz Truss, and now the Indian money-juggler, Sunak.

I should like to be able to dissent from that last sentence but really, and in all honesty, do not think that I can, unless some almost miraculous event, or series of events, so far unforeseen, can be a “pattern interrupt” on a grand scale.

A former firearms officer who was stripped down to her underwear during a police training course was today awarded more than £820,000 after winning a sex discrimination case against her force.

The 40-year-old, who retired after 15 years in West Midlands Police on medical grounds, was awarded £30,000 by the tribunal for sex harassment and discrimination in November. 

At the time, Employment Judge Christopher Camp ruled that the former Detective Inspector should also be compensated for lost earnings and pension on the basis she would have retired as a Superintendent at 60.

At a hearing today in Birmingham to determine those figures, a judge ordered West Midlands Police to pay her a total of £820,720.

[Daily Mail]

Absurd. Speculative, in that who is to say that she would have been further promoted anyway? Also, she left in her late thirties, so could have and can work elsewhere for about 20 years, I dare say, despite having been officially “medically retired“. Also, £800,000+, invested, can buy one or two houses, or be invested somewhere else, maybe bringing in around £80,000 p.a.

Several hundred thousand pounds should, in fairness, have been deducted from that total.

The police should start to take a far greater interest in the fraudulent activities of various online “grifters”, among which is numbered the said Simon Harris, an Essex Jew who has apparently been living off various scams for years; also, the now-notorious “Bootstrap Cook” known as “Jack Monroe” (aka Melissa Hadjicostas), another denizen of South Essex; “Supertanskiii”, unthinking Labour Party partisan whose modus operandi (similar to that of “Jack Monroe”) is to scream abuse at the present hapless and hopeless government (to dupe the donor-mugs) while taking in money under various guises; Julia Grace Patterson: similar, but uses her couple of years (and many years ago) working as a junior doctor to pose as “champion of the NHS” (while taking in monies).

Something must have gone very badly wrong for @simonharris_mbd to receive £484k of taxpayers money from Essex County Council for performing broadly the same service as @jonmorter, the man who came up with the idea of Facebook-based Essex community groups in the first place, who received far, far less and was promptly shafted as a result.

It seems @kirstyocal and Essex County Council have many awkward and serious questions to answer about who knew what, when, and why so much taxpayer money was paid to one person in a deal that simply does not represent value for money for taxpayers.

Why did the council spend so much on a linked network of low-engagement Facebook pages and groups? What was Kirsty’s role in all this? Who approved the sign-off on expenditure? How was Simon selected as the service provider? Was this just pandemic-induced panic or something more serious? Why did it take regime change at the council for this to stop?

£484,000 at a time when councils are going bankrupt, cutting back services, increasing council tax, and struggling to cope. Absolutely astonishing.

If any journalists in my followers that I’ve not already spoken to would like to cover this story, I’m happy to provide them with everything I have so far.

Hard to believe. Looks like the grifter has snaffled nearly half a million pounds of Essex taxpayers’ monies. Did he attend the same course (at Grifters’ College) as “Jack Monroe”?

Good grief. That area has changed out of all recognition since I last saw it decades ago.

Looking at the Moorfields Eye Hospital (on the left of that photo), I then took a look up City Road from there to the Angel, Islington, using my favourite Google Earth and Streetview.

The pub (was it The Sportsman, or maybe The Greyhound?), where half a dozen or so League of St. George members used to meet every (?Tuesday ?Wednesday) lunchtime back in 1977/1978, has gone.

I was unsure, looking at Google Streetview, exactly where it used to be but if memory serves it seems to have been replaced by a contemporary 2/3-storey apartment development of some kind). 45 years of urban landscape change.

Thinking back, that pub was an unaesthetic box shape, standing alone, and had probably itself been built over bomb-damaged houses (houses damaged in the early 1940s), sometime in the 1950s.

Not sure whether those gatherings could be called “happy days”, but certainly there was less in-your-face State repression of social-national people; the Jew-Zionist lobby’s infiltration into the “British” Establishment was less obvious, less blatant, in those days.

Recollections? I do not think anyone now, after 45 years, can be harmed if I use the names of those old LSG colleagues (some are no longer with us anyway).

I recall our Secretary, Mary Dowton, who was always there. I believe that she became, though many years later, a published writer on astrology.

Then there was the dark-bearded and amiable Steve Brady, who wrote the Heimdall column in League Review. Heimdall, of course, was the watchful Norse god who blew a horn and wielded a sword: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heimdall]. Steve had served a prison sentence in the mid-1970s for writing the truth, though I do not know the details. His sentence, I think about a year in the end, had been served in Reading Prison (now derelict or redeveloped); previously and famously the temporary home of Oscar Wilde.

Another occasional attendee was Keith Thompson, who now has a Wikipedia page devoted to him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_Thompson_(politician). Keith was a not-unpleasant character, whose wife disapproved of his political activities, I think. One day, I was talking to him on the telephone (he was at his home, I think in NW London somewhere), when I heard a loud slapping sound, and he went silent. The conversation then went something like this—

Me: “Hello? Hello?

Keith: “Uh..uh…sorry, Ian. My wife has just slapped my face with a wet fish...”

A unique conversation, for sure…almost surrealistic.

Keith Thompson was or had been a fairly adventurous fellow who, after National Service sometime in the late 1950s or around 1960 (if so, he may have been one of the last few ever drafted) had travelled the world a bit, and had worked for a while in the uranium mines of Rum Jungle, in Australia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rum_Jungle,_Northern_Territory].

In more recent years, Keith Thompson was accused, I read somewhere, of having spied for Jew-Zionists. I have no idea whether that was the case. Pity if it was. He was always short of money, but then so have I been at various times, and no-one (whether official or Jew-Zionist) has ever asked me to spy (for money or any other reason). It would not suit me anyway. I am a believer…

There were others sometimes present at those pub “seminars” (or should we say, following Plato, “symposia”?) whose names I do not recall. A typical talking-shop, of course, rather than anything serious.

I had and still have my suspicions about who might have been reporting to MI5 or Special Branch 45 years ago, but no proof, just speculative analysis, and my lips remain sealed.

The League had its office near that pub, in a council flat the tenant of which was a League member who lived most of the time elsewhere but kept up the flat for the convenience of the League, though I think most LSG people never went there (The League used a P.O. box and/or a letter-forwarding service). I did visit once or twice, though fairly briefly. My memory, though still good, far better than almost anyone’s in fact, is not infallible, and I do not recall the exact address of that flat (not that it matters now either way); somewhere near that pub; just off the City Road, anyway. The flat probably got sold off privately in the 1980s or 1990s, and is now quite likely worth a million pounds, in the crazed London of 2024.

Do not vote Con or Lab. Either vote anywhere else, or abstain.

US money goes to the yachts of Ukrainian ministers, but Washington does not want to admit it – Tucker Carlson.

Ukraine will not win, no matter how much money the United States pours into it, but Washington stubbornly refuses to acknowledge this fact, argues host and political commentator Tucker Carlson.

Moreover, if any politician dares to publicly talk about defeat or corruption in Ukraine, he is immediately subjected to a barrage of criticism: “And if they are angry, it means that you are telling the truth,” Tucker is sure. According to him, only the United States still ignores the fact that Ukraine is the most corrupt country in Europe, and Zelensky is “not the person who should be trusted with hundreds of billions of dollars.”

The American government must admit the truth and stop supporting Ukraine “as long as it takes,” the presenter is sure. This leads not only to the destruction of Ukraine, but also to the deterioration of the lives of Americans: instead of taking care of their people, the US authorities send billions of dollars to Kyiv so that “the next Zelensky minister can buy himself a bigger yacht.”

Quite.

As blogged many times previously, the people generally (the “moronic masses”, if you like) are being played by the “refugees welcome” dimwits and the overlapping social media (etc) virtue-signallers, and also by the political chancers, such as Rory Stewart (lives in a listed Scottish Borders house he inherited —on about a hundred acres— and in a London apartment or house), who favour mass immigration but will never have to deal personally with any of its negative consequences.

What I know about alpacas would probably fill only a very small postcard. I was surprised to read that they can eat fir or pine trees and the like. According to Wikipedia, their usual diet is different: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpaca#Diet.

You still see tweets etc demanding that “the authorities” or “the Government” should “do something”. Such tweets (etc) miss the point. The “authorities”, “Government”, “Opposition”, mainstream media drones and scribblers, and the craven legal and judicial system, are those, or some of those, responsible, pushing mass immigration, pushing the lie that it is a good thing, and pushing the multikulti society which is in the process of destroying what is left of our own society.

Lost wars are never popular and, while the Israeli war machine is slowly grinding the life out of Gaza, there is no easy victory for the (Israeli) Jews in that theatre, and casualties are mounting (though a small fraction of those suffered by both Gazan combatants and non-combatants).

Meanwhile, it seems to me that the strategic position of Israel has never been so precarious, even in the 1950s. Hezbollah threatens the northern border, Iran is developing longer-range missiles, and the Israeli economy is battered by the Gaza conflict, the evacuation of the northern border areas, by the situation in the Red Sea, and by a worldwide consumer boycott. Also, Israeli society itself seems fragmented, disunited.

To my mind, and for the first time in my lifetime [b. 1956] one can see a possibility, even a probability, that the State of Israel may not survive for very long into the future. Ironically, the nuclear and other advanced weapons of Israel may prove to be irrelevant, in that what seems most likely is a mass “invasion” or insurrection by lightly-armed militants (as in the recent Hamas incursions into southern Israel). Israel cannot use its most powerful weapons on its own territory.

A word about junior doctors striking

I have little time for the selfish yet virtue-signalling junior doctors. Many of them are useless anyway, and now we see that, when push comes to shove, they are willing to abandon their patients in order to demand better pay.

Yes, there remains a “skeleton service”, but that is a conscience-salve equivalent to the blank round given secretly to a randomly-selected member of a firing squad.

What about that pay? In the first year of work, they get a basic salary around £33,000, but that can greatly increase for overtime work of various kinds. Many are making over £45,000.

Admittedly, £33,000 is no fortune, but that is, after all, for persons recently-qualified. There are huge numbers of people in the UK making less, even after 20 or 30 years of work, and that is even disregarding the unemployed, sick, disabled, pensioners etc.

A second year doctor in a hospital gets £37,000+ (up to about £50,000).

Salaried GPs get between £70,000 and £105,000. Partner-GPs get far more.

Hospital doctors get increments annually; a complicated series of payments for various training programmes and placements raises the salary of many far beyond the minima.

NHS consultants start (in their first year of consultancy) on basic pay of just under £100,000, and make far more with seniority etc.

I say nothing about whether doctors (at any level) “should” get more pay, simply that it is disgusting that the junior ones seem willing to abandon sick and helpless people, often very vulnerable people, often people in pain (and in need of strong painkillers which can only be prescribed by doctors, meaning the “men —and women— in white coats”).

If junior doctors and, beyond that, what is so often —and cringingly— called “our NHS” callously abandon the British people, it may be that the British people will eventually abandon the doctors and demand a health service that works for its patients and not mainly for the benefit of those that work in it.

Sage. That quotation could be a commentary on my own recent prosecution and conviction (I may appeal) for (allegedly) posting on the blog, and telling society a few socio-political and historical truths, mainly truths about “them” (((them))).

Imagine if the same were done in the halls of music, literature, philosophy, martial endeavour, science etc. There would be almost nothing left.

The news report about that scandal: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12845439/Now-police-CANCEL-Chief-Constables.html.

Read that. Turns out that, as so often, the Chief Constable in question is a woman, and moreover one who, after a business studies degree at what was then Sheffield Polytechnic, joined the police in Cambridgeshire. Her Wikipedia entry contains no detail of any interesting cases or arrests, just a careerist plod (no pun intended) upwards on the bureaucratic ladder: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jo_Farrell.

A few more of those G.K. Chesterton quotations:

Were Chesterton to live in our own times, he would have been “cancelled” by intellectual pygmies, would probably never have been published, and would quite likely find himself having to defend nonsensical and/or malicious allegations in the criminal courts.

[G.K. Chesterton]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G._K._Chesterton.

Incidentally, Wikipedia’s piece on G.K. Chesterton contains the caveat “not to be confused with A.K. Chesterton“.

A.K. Chesterton [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A._K._Chesterton] was a remote relative of G.K. and perhaps, possibly, probably (I do not know) named “A.K.” deliberately because of the connection, G.K. Chesterton then being a very famous figure indeed (who was even cited and quoted in novels such as Brideshead Revisited, published much later— 1945, in that case; Brideshead contains a scene involving a reading aloud of Chesterton’s Father Brown story, The Queer Feet [https://www3.nd.edu/~afreddos/courses/43811/queerfeet.htm]).

When, from about 1975, and at age 17 or 18, I became actively interested in contemporary British politics (in addition to my earlier and continuing interest in the Germany and Russia of the 1910s, 1920s, and 1930s), I heard tell about A.K. Chesterton at or around the League of St. George, in a couple of cases from people who had known him personally (he died in 1973).

I read a couple of copies of “A.K.’s” magazine, Candour, and carried on a brief political correspondence in 1976-1977 with some (?) Irish and certainly Roman Catholic lady who had continued the publication after the death of “A.K.”. Frankly, I did not think much of either. The young can be censorious, often too censorious.

Ah. I had forgotten that lady’s name, but am now reminded by Wikipedia, about 46 or more years on, that it was Rosine de Bounevialle. I do remember that she was based in Liss Forest, Hampshire: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candour_(magazine); https://www.candour.org.uk/.

Ukrainian intelligence today revealed chilling images from the scene of the assassination of Ilya Kyva, a ‘traitor’ and former Kyiv MP turned Putin puppet. 

Kyva, 46, was gunned down last week as he went for a walk in a supposedly safe location at a country club near Moscow – the latest of several collaborators to have been assassinated in recent months. 

Images from the scene show his body lying in the snow – and the weapons supposedly used to ‘liquidate’ him were discovered hanging on a tree nearby. Video was also released apparently showing the assassin lying in wait in the snow and watching passers-by.

The SBU secret service made clear the images and footage were deliberately released as a warning to other Ukrainians collaborating with Vladimir Putin’s invading forces.

‘This is a signal to all traitors and war criminals who have gone over to the enemy’s side,’ a Ukrainian source told media.

Yes. If Farage and Tice actually fight the 2024 GE, unlike their behaviour in 2019, when they stabbed their own followers in the back and enabled “Boris”-idiot to lead the Con Party to an unmerited victory, Reform UK might manage between 15%-20%. Even 15% would sink the Con Party, leaving Con Party with about 53 seats, depending on the Lab and LibDem showing. If Reform UK can get to 20%, and if most of the extra votes come from Con Party, the latter might be left with as few as 14 MPs.

My own guess, on present showing, is that the nationwide vote for Reform UK might exceed 15%; not sure.

My other guess is that the Con Party will be left with between 50 and 100 MPs.

That, of course, will mean a Labour Party elected dictatorship.

Update, 7 December 2024

Well, as far as GE 2024 is concerned, I got it right, or almost right: Reform UK did fight the General Election and, despite the unfair/illogical FPTP voting system, got 14.29%, which gave them 5 MPs (under a pure proportional-voting system, it would have been 92 or 93 MPs).

The Con Party did get hammered, ending up with a few more MPs —121— than the 50-100 I predicted.

As for the Labour “elected” dictatorship, yes, that also happened. Despite only getting 33.7% of the voted vote, Labour now has 411 MPs (out of 650).

From the newspapers

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/dec/06/the-britons-stockpiling-for-a-crisis-food-toilet-rolls-supplies

Kathryn is a firm believer in the 19th-century adage that we are only ever nine meals from anarchy. Having learned the skill of stockpiling from her wartime parents and grandparents, her first mini-foray was in preparation for Y2K.

“That was mainly candles and biscuits, because I didn’t really take it very seriously,” she said. “But it did mean that I was already halfway there when I realised I needed a substantial, genuine Brexit stash, which then morphed into a Covid stash, which in turn became a cost of living store, then an ‘Are we going to run out of electricity?’ store when the Ukraine war kicked off, and is now a general, all-encompassing everyday/WW3 stash.”

Kathryn could soon be joined by many more concerned citizens preparing for a worst-case scenario after the deputy prime minister, Oliver Dowden, said this week that people should stock up on battery-powered radios, torches, candles and first aid kits in case of power cuts or digital communications going down.

Not such a silly idea. I have examined that and other aspects of prepping on the blog (search via the search box).

As mentioned previously, the once very famous occult-thriller (etc) writer, Dennis Wheatley [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Wheatley], in his very readable memoirs, Drink and Ink, recounted how, in his popular newspaper column of the late 1930s, he recommended to his readers that they “stock up” on tinned food (mainly) against the likelihood of a European war.

Wheatley followed his own advice, and thus was better prepared than most for the rigours of British WW2 rationing. Of course, he was in a better position than most, living in a country house at Lymington in the New Forest, and with both storage space and money with which to spend stocking up.

Not a bad idea if you have those two necessities. 20 years ago, I could have done that myself; I was then living in one of the largest houses in Cornwall (only leased, sadly) and was, if far from wealthy or affluent, at least not usually very short of money on a day to day basis.

[where I lived about 20 years ago]

Times change. The whole of my present tiny flat would fit at least twice over merely into the ballroom of that Cornish house. I now have no space (let alone money to spend) “stocking-up” for national emergency. Should my circumstances change, I would do that, though.

The Mormons, at least in their home state of Utah, make sure that they have in their homes a basic supply of dried and tinned goods sufficient for 2 years. Perhaps a legacy from the covered-wagon days of the mid-19thC in that part of the world.

I shall not go into great detail here about such prepping, but since Wheatley’s 1930s, the technology of canning has moved on, the variety of tinned goods has expanded, and the same is true of dried goods.

In the end, storing tins of food etc will not save you, years down the line, but it can provide a breathing space for you and your families.

Worth considering.

But during the treatment at a baths in Istanbul the masseuse spotted the mystery lump and questioned what it was.

‘I remember talking to my friends like: “My God. How is a Turkish masseuse doing a better job of telling me what’s wrong with me than my GP has for months?”

Despite having a scan when she returned home doctors continued to insist she was suffering from benign fibroids and showed no urgency towards her.

It was only when eight months later medics removed a lump the size of a grapefruit that she was diagnosed with an incurable gynaecological cancer.

There are still innumerable pseudo-socialists and others who seem to think seriously that the UK, and the rest of Europe, can absorb waves of mass immigration without limit. How wrong they are. In the end, those waves will break down society completely, destroy our people, and smash our society into pieces.

From me, in my present circumstances (regular readers will know what I mean!), no comment…

The logical outcome is to allow anyone at all to participate, i.e. have no men’s or women’s individual sports. Let women and men (and “trans” types) compete together. That will delete the “trans” nonsense from the whole situation (though admittedly also at the expense of women athletes, of course).

Alternatively, just have proper men’s and women’s sports, as previously.

Britain built 200k houses last year. CPS estimate we now need to build at least 514,000 houses each year, more than half of which is just to keep up with record net migration (much of which is a fiscal drag on the economy). It’s neither “racist” nor “far right” to point to how immigration is fuelling the housing crisis.

It is, however, germane, to point out that a high proportion of immigrants (both “legal” and “illegal”) have no useful qualifications, and in many cases cannot even speak English beyond the most basic level. Apart from that, the fact is that “race is the root-stock, culture is the flower and fruit“. Race or “ethnicity” is central to the whole question.

Unsurprising. After all, Mrs Thatcher was called “the only man in the British Cabinet“. Nothing much has changed. I have observed these useless drones and those of similar type for 50 years, since I was a teenager. Members of the Bench and Bar, partners in firms of City solicitors, MPs etc.

Sunak and his Cabinet of Clowns become more pathetic daily.

This was the magistrate/District Judge presiding: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tan_Ikram.

The photograph is misleading. The case commented upon was in the magistrates’ court, not the High Court or Court of Appeal.

The commentary is right, though. Some magistrates do seem to want to guess what was in the mind of a defendant posting online.

There really is no longer “free speech” or freedom of expression in the UK. My own trial, last month, confirmed that. What was behind my wrongful prosecution? The Jew-Zionist Israel-lobby cabal called “Campaign Against Antisemitism”. You don’t have to believe me, incidentally. They have admitted it repeatedly on their own Twitter/X account, as well as on their website.

Go woke, go broke“, some say. Let’s hope so…

A bad law. I should know, having been convicted under its stupid and badly-drafted provisions only last month. The Law Commission recommended its repeal (I was one of the lay consultees, and noted as such at the end of the Law Commission report).

As to my own case, I shall decide whether to appeal after I am sentenced in a couple of months.

I hope that those convicted will appeal to Crown Court.

Little Indian money-juggler Sunak reminds me of those hopeless contestants on TV quiz shows such as The Chase, the completely ignorant contestants, of whom you wonder “why are you even on a quiz show? You couldn’t buy a right answer“.

Had I been asked as recently as last month whether I thought that Sunak would lead his “Light Brigade” into the next general election, I would have replied that he would, if only because that election now looms large, with only a year or so to go, at maximum (I am told January 2025 would be the last possible month). There is a degree of “groundrush”.

Now? I am not so sure. The Conservative Party looks like getting wiped out, or at least reduced to as few as 50 MPs, unless its “leaders” can put forward something as a gamechanger. So far, every policy initiative run up the flagpole has been shot down by a public showing of thumbs-down. It may just be that the last desperate throw will be to change the leader (again).

From the newspapers

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/dec/02/keir-starmer-praises-margaret-thatcher-for-bringing-meaningful-change-to-uk

Keir Starmer praises Margaret Thatcher for bringing ‘meaningful change’ to UK.

Labour leader says former PM ‘set loose our natural entrepreneurialism’ in appeal to Tory voters to back him.

Labour leader says former PM ‘set loose our natural entrepreneurialism’ in appeal to Tory voters to back him.

Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, the Labour leader said Thatcher had “set loose our natural entrepreneurialism” during her time as prime minister.

[Mail on Sunday]

Hard to believe (for those who imagine that Labour is still in some way “socialist” or even “social-democratic”). Starmer praising not only Mrs Thatcher but also global finance-capitalism, and in the Sunday Telegraph to boot!

Britain in the late 1970s had its problems, but the Thatcher government went far too far the other way, though in most respects not as far as have all UK governments since 1997.

“Labour” and “Conservative” have both become just almost-meaningless labels, rather like the kind of parties seen in Latin America which call themselves simple names to bamboozle simple electorates— “blanco”, “colorado” etc. The same as in Russia under Yeltsin; a major party (theoretically or mostly in opposition during the 1990s, but really not) was called “yabloko” (Apple), and its symbol was an apple. Simple, meaningless, deceptive.

Starmer, thanks to the utter collapse of the Conservative Party, is riding high by default. He has no need to even pretend that Labour is the “party for the working man”, as in decades past.

Also:

The Labour leader touted the party’s “iron-clad fiscal rules” in an effort to portray Labour as trustworthy on the economy.

There will be many on my own side who will feel frustrated by the difficult choices we will have to make,” he added. “This is non-negotiable: every penny must be accounted for. The public finances must be fixed so we can get Britain growing and make people feel better off.”

[Mail on Sunday, citing the Sunday Telegraph].

Just look at that. “Difficult choices“, “the public finances must be fixed” etc— the very words so often used by Cameron-Levita, Osborne, and their gophers, Clegg and Danny Alexander, in the early days of the Con Coalition of 2010-2015.

The only slight surprise is that Starmer still refers to his “own side“. What side is that? He pretends that there is still a Labour and ‘Tory’ divide. In reality, the ruling members of both System parties are following the same agenda: globalized finance-capitalism, “Friends of Israel”, and the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan (funnelling blacks, browns etc into the UK in order to create over time a mixed-race and easily-ruled subject population).

Vladimir Putin could resort to deploying nuclear weapons in his war against Ukraine if the Russian despot feels his forces face defeat on the battlefield, a retired US Army Brigadier General has warned.

Kevin Ryan, who served as Chief of Staff for the Army’s Space and Missile Defence Command, said nuclear war is an ‘entirely feasible’ option for Putin if Ukrainian forces make gains on the battlefield and even retake captured territory like Crimea.

Ryan, who also served as the Defence Attaché to Russia, said Moscow is not just at war with Ukraine, but with the West too – and it’s for this reason Putin is much more likely to see the use of tactical nuclear weapons as ‘prudent deterrence’.

The exploding of a nuclear weapon inside Ukraine may seem like “overkill” in a war against Ukraine, but in a war against the West, it could be seen as prudent deterrence,’ Ryan tells MailOnline.”

[Mail on Sunday]

Well, the flaw in the retired officer’s above argument lies in “nuclear war is an ‘entirely feasible’ option for Putin if Ukrainian forces make gains on the battlefield and even retake captured territory like Crimea.

As someone once said, “that dirty little word if“..

“If” Ukrainian forces make gains on the battlefield (they are not making gains), and “if” the Kiev-regime forces “retake” Crimea (that will never happen).

Putin has no need to remind the USA, UK etc (NWO) what power he has. NATO knows what will happen if it goes too far.

Whatever people may tell “their” MPs, the reality is that “their” MPs are (in another sense) “their” MPs (Labour Friends of Israel, and Conservative Friends of Israel)…

Telling MPs this or that changes little or nothing.

Iain Dale, “I think Labour’s position on immigration is an absolute disgrace.. The three of us on this panel have all explained what the benefits of immigration are.. Do you ever hear a politician, from right or left, extolling the virtues of immigration?” “And you have the leader of @UKLabour probably our future Prime Minister, basically saying: the Tories haven’t gone far enough. I mean the world’s gone mad on this issue”

Iain Dale is typical of the UK msm— completely under the influence of the Jewish lobby/Israel lobby, completely pro-immigration, and hostile to the idea that the poorer 90% of the country should have any real rights.

Incredibly, Jewish-lobby puppet Iain Dale received only a mild police caution for attacking that elderly dissenter or protester in the street.

If only life were that simple. I recall being an involved observer of something similar once or twice back in 2011 and 2012, in other words not so long after Labour had been in power for 13 years.

Hard to judge whether Iain Dale is one of the conspirators wanting to import 20,000 blacks and browns (mainly) per week, or whether he is just a bit thick. Maybe a bit of both.

As someone tweeted, Dale lives in an area where average house prices well exceed £600,000, and where the impact on him personally will not be felt for decades, even if he is still alive by then. Rory Stewart is another one, his main property being a listed country house in the England/Scotland border country.

At the present rate, Britain, which had about 56M inhabitants (99% real British) when I was a small child, and which now has about 65M officially and 70M unofficially, will have 77M+ in 2030, 87M+ in 2040, and maybe 100M in 2050, by which time (if this madness is not stopped) the country will have become a soulless, largely urbanized and suburbanized dystopia, where hardly anything works properly and where the population is mainly black, brown, or “mixed-race”.

I am 67 already, so —thank God!— I myself will or would not be here to experience the hell that may be not very far down the line in the UK.

I am doing what little I can to stop that disaster happening, but the forces of the State (suborned by the Jew-Zionist cabals) have already prosecuted me for blogging the truth.

Those whom the Gods wish to destroy, they first make mad“. As in…crime going through the roof, and migrant-invaders make money illicitly while laughing at the British people, and while, at the same time, people like me are prosecuted at the behest of a pack of Jew-Zionists for something as trivial as having allegedly posted justified remarks and the odd cartoon about society and politics…

The “readers’ comments” are interesting, with many saying —all too rightly— that this country is no longer a democracy, and that they will vote Reform UK. Well, I have no time for Farage, Tice etc, but if Reform UK can break up the present binary stitch-up, good…

The “Conservative” Party has relied on sheep-voting for a long long time, just like “Labour” did in Scotland (and is now doing in England). Both parties have MPs, “lords”, and activists who want the very opposite of what the vast majority of British people want.

Is Douglas Murray inciting civil war in the UK? What is he doing?

“Tommy Robinson” makes common cause with Douglas Murray:

A half-truth is still a half-lie. Jewish-lobby mouthpiece Douglas Murray is not completely wrong about the non-British influxes, including the migration-invasion, but —of course— says nothing about the Jew-Zionist influence which has undermined Britain’s way of life for many decades in a number of ways; culturally, politically etc.

It is quite possible to oppose the Gaza slaughter, oppose the evil Israeli invasion of Gaza, and the slaughter of children etc, and yet be firmly on the side of (real) British values, including “race and nation” and/or “race and culture”, and against Jew-Zionist supremacism both in the Middle East and Europe.

Nick Griffin is onto it:

Douglas Murray – upper class, homosexual, no children, highly paid by neocon and Zionist foundations – is cold-bloodedly winding up a “very brutal” civil war in the UK.

He won’t be there. He has no sons to be there. He has total contempt for working class Brits. You’ll not find him holding a gun, planting a bomb or cleaning up brains and guts. That’s your role – peasants!

When the BNP raised the very real problems of Pakistani grooming gangs and anti-white racist violence, he did nothing except sneer & condemn us. But now he is talking up a non-existent ‘threat’ – to a stone monument that was built as a sop because the elite wouldn’t pay to bring our dead home from their obscene Western Front – to wind us up to bring Israel’s war to our streets.

Why? Because his paymasters want us to support genocide in Gaza and go to war against Iran – one of the nations that stood up to and defeated ISIS and Al Qaeda.

There ARE real problems in the Britain that he and the rest of ‘our’ ruling class have created, and the British have plenty to be angry about – as have UK Muslims. But a new flood of refugees and a 30-year war won’t solve anything. So stop trying to start one, Murray, you disgusting, warmongering excuse for a human being!

[Nick Griffin].

Well said, Griffin, though “upper class” is stretching it a bit! Murray’s parents were neither titled nor wealthy (father a civil servant, mother a schoolteacher), and Murray attended local primary, comprehensive and Roman Catholic schools in the Hammersmith and Ealing areas of London before spending a year at Eton, in the 6th form, on a scholarship.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Murray_(author).

I think that what we are seeing here is one of the latest forms of “controlled opposition”: pro-Israel, pro-Jewish-lobby, anti-immigration (superficially), and anti any real social nationalism.

Murray is there, as we just saw, in the leather club chairs, hamming up the pseudo-Establishment “cosplay”, while “Tommy Robinson”, co-incidentally (?) just released from Twitter/X jail (along with Katie Hopkins), stirs up the untutored masses against the Palestine protest marches etc.

The aim seems to be to sunder the two parts of what might have become a pro-social-nationalist but anti-Israel, and anti-Jewish-lobby, movement.

Thus the potentially “British nationalist” masses end up controlled —in ideology, or literally— by the Douglas Murrays, the Tommy Robinsons, the Katie Hopkins’s. The huge numbers of white British people who hate what Israel is doing in Gaza are outflanked, and forced into the false choice of being either pro-Israel and pro-Jewish (and superficially pro-Brit, and pro-Union Jack flagwaving), or anti-Palestine marches and also pro-immigration.

Murray retails the old “paradox of liberalism”, i.e. that a liberal society has to be illiberal towards illiberal persons or tendencies in order to preserve its liberal character.

That is frequently seen pushed out by the Jew-Zionist lobby. Indeed, it forms a secondary element in my own rapidly-upcoming trial, in which I shall stand up for free speech and freedom of expression against a Zionist-corrupted police and prosecution set-up.

The result of that paradox, as applied in practice, is that those with whom the System has no problem have almost unlimited free speech (e.g. cheap msm comedians and entertainers, corrupt pro-Israel politicos such as Nigel Farage etc), but those who pose a real, even if only germinal, threat to the System (any real social-national thinkers or activists) are jumped upon and as good as banned.

[Update, 28 December 2024: the results of my free speech trial held in November 2023, well over a year ago…

Stephen Silverman, the malicious Jew-Zionist previously notorious for being a pseudonymous troll on social media (harassing women, in particular), and who is the self-styled “Head of Investigations and Enforcement” at the tiny but (((well-funded))) “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], described (on the “CAA” website) my sentence (a “community order”, and fine and costs totalling £734), as “shockingly lenient“; the ridiculous nuisance.

Late thought re. Suella Braverman

Obviously a Jewish-lobby puppet, like her predecessor, Priti Patel. What, though, is her gameplay?

To my way of thinking, she knows that this pseudo-“Conservative Party” government has no chance whatever it does. I think that it had, until quite recently, but not now. The obvious fact that Sunak has decided to hang on until the last possible moment (late 2024) speaks volumes to the voters. It says “I am afraid to submit myself to a general election”.

In strict Constitutional terms, Sunak and, before Sunak, Liz Truss, had no need to hold a general election, but as far as most voters are concerned, that smacks of fear and desperation.

On the above premises, what is Suella Braverman thinking? My view is that she is setting out her stall to be elected as Sunak’s successor. If she says inflammatory things and is sacked, then it says “I was too honest to stay in Sunak’s weak government”, but if she is not sacked, another message says “Sunak is a lame duck, and dare not sack me”.

Either way, Suella Braverman only has 12 months left in government, so she has little to lose.
